Attrib Reorient surface node

Modifies point attributes based on differences between two models.

All

Parameters

Example files

The Attrib Reorient SOP computes rotations for each point in the selection by examining differences in surface normals and tangents from the reference geometry to the live geometry. The named vector and quaternion attributes are updated by applying the computed rotation to the attribute values in the reference geometry.

Note

Attrib Reorient only operates on polygons. Other geometry type such as Bezier and NURBS surfaces can be converted to polygons using a Convert operation prior to applying Attrib Reorient.

Parameters

Group	Points whose attributes will be reoriented.
Vector Attributes	The vector attributes to reorient.
Quaternion Attributes	The quaternion attributes to reorient.

This example demonstrates how to use the Attrib Reorient SOP to calculate rotations applied to points. These rotations are used by the Copy SOP when creating each instance.
